A Day in Your Life - Chrisette Michele

Could you buy me a day

In your life

When I’m wearing the clothes

That you wear,

And could you give me your dimes for a day

And just for one day take my place

See mama says that I am beautiful, yeah

And I am lovely the way that I am

But if I am so sweet

Why won’t life

Just give me

What you have

What you have

What you have

Or can I get away with

Being you for a day

Oh I wonder if I can

Put me in a Box

For a little while

Tomorrow

Take me out, again

Or am I already

As lovely as You

Are you in my window pane

Looking back at me

Saying, Here I am

Girl,

You’re Beautiful

Could be that I am just too afraid

To become who I already am

Could it be that the life

That was spoken to me

Is indeed in my spirit, man, Oh

Mama said touch the sky with your heels

And to fly on the wings of the Lord

Could I only believe that

It is inside of me

To be free

To be free

To be free

Or can I get away with

Being you for a day

Oh I wonder if I can

Put me in a Box

For a little while

Tomorrow

Take me out, again

Or am I already

As lovely as You

Are you in my window pane

Looking back at me

Saying, Here I am

Girl,

You’re Beautiful
